Eliminate duplicate entry when creating a new Takeoff Type

Eliminate duplicate entry when creating a new Takeoff Type

When creating a new takeoff type or duplicating an existing takeoff type, duplicate data entry is required when naming the new takeoff type in both the takeoff type name and in the primary line item details name.  The Primary line item detail name should auto populate to the takeoff type name.  Allow users to change the Primary line item name, if needed.  Default condition should eliminate the need to enter the takeoff type name twice.  Reference attached pic.

I have not used this software enough to give concrete recommendations on specific procedures.

 

However, I have talked to 3 other Turner offices and every one of them told me to double or even triple the time allotted to perform quantity takeoff compared to the old OST software.

 

This is a very real problem and needs to be addressed.
